Property Description for 167 East 69th Street

167 East 69th Street is an extremely rare 25 foot wide carriage house with a stunning Neo-Georgian facade designed by Charles E Birge in 1908 with a redesign by Fairfax and Sammons in recent years. This home spans over 7,000 square feet and features five bedrooms with a dramatic ground floor studio space and highly sought after garage! The home features arched windows, a chef’s kitchen which opens onto a 400 square foot landscaped terrace, massive skylights, and a 4th floor set back with two additional bedrooms and the ability to create a roofdeck with additional outdoor space. Upon entering you are greeted by a massive studio boasting dramatic 14.5ft ceilings with multiple skylights lining the left side of the building, allowing for excellent light into the entire space. This ground floor space offers a buyer a tremendous opportunity to do amazing things....create your dream garage, gym, movie theatre, game room, art studio, home office...or a combination of several spectacular spaces...this is one of the areas that will take this already gorgeous home to the next level. Please refer to our renderings for some ideas! Upstairs you have three stunning open floor through living levels which all enjoy the home’s 25 foot width and depth, spaces more like that of a Soho loft and unlike many townhouse homes which have narrow widths and more chopped up spaces. This first level is comprised of a front living room with a wood burning fireplace and custom library, a guest bathroom, and an outstanding chef’s kitchen with island that opens to a dining area and 400 square foot landscaped terrace. This floor is amazing for those who wish to entertain! Continuing upstairs is a master bedroom suite on one end and three additional bedrooms separated by a gorgeous staircase and walkway. This layout is ideal, giving privacy to the master suite with opposite end bedrooms for families and others who wish to have primary bedrooms on the same floor. On the top floor are two additional bedrooms, a bathroom and a 1300 +/- square foot south facing rooftop which is eagerly waiting to be converted into a spectacular outdoor deck with plantings, seating and barbeque areas. Architect Charles E Birge was educated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Charles Birge is well known for his work with William Randolph Hearst, the design of the Bankers Trust Company building on 57th and Madison Avenue and the North River Savings Bank at 51 West 34th Street. 167 East 69th Street is located in one of the most prime areas of the Upper East Side, blocks away from Central Park and surrounded by outstanding shops, restaurants, schools and transportation. The quiet tree lined block features some of the best townhouse homes in New York City. The Residents of this block have included Mark Rothko and home of art dealer Larry Gagosian.

Upper East Side | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.

With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.

Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .

There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
